Brougham Castle

Brougham Castle, located in Cumbria, England, was the site of Operation GRAIL TABLE. Brougham is one of the largest Norman-era ruins in the North of England. The castle was for centuries an instrument of Southern power on the Borders, in the wars against the Scots at the end of the thirteenth century. Quite an amazing structure with a great deal of history. There's even a rumor that a circle of vampires used the castle as their home in the early thirteenth century.

GRAIL TABLE was based in the Brougham chapel, which had been outfitted with computers, sensory deprivation tanks, psychotronic interface headsets, and expensive high-fidelity audio equipment that put out prophetic chant sonics. These reverberated off the vaulted plastic roof – carefully crafted to reproduce the acoustics of the original building – and could induce the meditative trance state necessary for direct interface with ORACLE.

After the destruction of GRAIL TABLE, SANDMAN sent a cleanup and retrieval team to Brougham. They managed to salvage GRAIL TABLE’s research, while Charley Helix managed to salvage ORACLE itself.
